I'd appreciate any information about the best convertible top canvas manufacturer.

I have a green 97 with a ratty beige convertible top and I'm looking to DIY a replacement.

Looking for the best.......I only want to do this once!

Cynthia,

Have you someone you have confidence in to install a top? It is significant undertaking. Might be worthwhile to obtain a quote from a business specializing in providing a top and installation. At least you will have one entity responsible for a quality solution.

Keep us posted how it turns out for you.

Thanks for the response.
I do have someone who can install the convertible top for me... In fact, in Porsche Boxster circles, they call him "Topster" because he is a whiz at convertible tops.

My problem is that I don't have any information on the best quality canvas tops for Celicas. I'm only looking to replace the canvas, not the entire top and frame assembly. I also don't know which of the manufacturers have the best reputation.

Hopefully someone else will chime in... I can't be the first one to be replacing the canvas on our beloved 6GC's! wink.gif

Regards, Cynthia.
